Hi, I'm Vanessa. I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennslylvania (USA) which is a pretty average city. It's great if your into to the arts because we have million museums and theaters, but that stuff bores me to death, so it's not so great... lol.

I'm 18 and I will be going off to my first year of college this year, majoring in materials engineering. I'm currently trying to make it a double major with Japanese, but my school refuses to return my calls... damn you, Chatham College!

I love soccer and Japan. Nice to meet you!

Very bold move.... and into a tough field.... be prepared for a lot of hard work to prove yourself, and I wish you the best... what inspired you to get into filmmaking?

I'm Greg. I guess with my freetime I like to play around with music, and I lift weights a couple times a week typically. I don't read as much as I'd like, but sometimes a book can be a very nice thing.
